Gregory's Server@CliffWade I have always switched between iOS and Android but was using iOS more (and almost non-stop for the last 6 years).
Switched to Android last year and pretty much liking it. I would not say either is better or worse, they are just different (and sometimes similar). I like it more now because it feels kind of new as iOS (and also iPhone) feels the same... The last iPhone that got me excited was the X so it was about time to try something different. At least for now.

@CliffWade some folks just don't understand that these are just phones and operating systems. Use what you like and be happy. No reason to start annoying fanboy wars... That was not even cool 10 years ago.   @CliffWade @m12k I'm not a fanboy and Android has a lot of problems, but I can't stand using iOS. Feels like I'm renting a device from Apple that was designed by Fisher Price. I just can't do it. Plus, if you're a FOSS enthusiast, Android is the place to be. @jcrabapple @m12k I personally disagree with the design aspect of iPhone's. I feel they are solid devices that are very comfortable. I do agree that if you are more on the FOSS side of things, then Android is certainly the place to be over iOS. @CliffWade @jcrabapple iPhones are designed very well (and so are Android flagships and even mid-rangers). What I personally like about the devices (software aside for a moment) is more choice (aka Foldables). I also don't have a problem with the ecosystem as I use Google services anyway (also on iPhone). The only thing that stays is my MacBook Pro. @jcrabapple @CliffWade @m12k "Renting," for me, is more like an "opinionated device and experience". At this moment, I don't mind subscribing to that. |
@m12k That makes total sense and is a great mindset that a lot of people sadly don't have or can't have for various reasons. They have tunnel vision about one OS or the other.
I use both, extensively and while I prefer iOS over Android in a lot of cases, I prefer Android over iOS in other cases.
I know it's odd for me to say those things above, since I work for a very large Android app and have for going on 8 years. I have use cases for both, but more for iOS than Android.
